Sweden can send criminals to serve a sentence in Foreign, the Commission appointed by the Government, while the Earth fights with a larger number of new prisoners, criminal groups.
– It is necessary to work on new solutions within the prison and investigative service – the Gunnar Strommer Minister in the press conference, adding that Sweden has already negotiating with other land renting countries in their prisons.
Sweden faces criminal gangs, which have intensified in the last two decades, which led to that Nordic country to be at the top of the armed violence, with mortal shocks, per capita in Europe.
Equipped, increased by staff and financing, Swedish police advanced in the fight against gangs – in the last two years there was fewer deadly shootings and more verdicts.
Although that success was greeted, it burded the prison system. In 2023. year, the last year for which the data were available, Swedish courts sent prison sentences for a total of a few less than 200,000 months, which is an increase of 25 percent compared to the first year and doubling in comparison with 2014. year.
Swedish prisons are full, and the prison service and investigation claims that about 27,000 beds will need until 2033. years, compared to the current 11,000.
Mattias Wahlstedt, the head of the Commission, said there were no legal obstacles to Sweden to rent prison spaces abroad, but that the proposal was to adopt the parliament first.
Authorities are also struggling with an increased number of bombings, primarily in the Stockholm capital region. Only in January there were 30 bombings, most of which, the gangs extorted the money from companies and citizens, the police said, reports Reuters.
